How often are biological indicators for assessing sterilization to be used according to the CDC?

  1. Weekly

  2. Daily

  3. Monthly

  4. Yearly

The correct answer is: Weekly

Biological indicators are used to measure the effectiveness of sterilization processes in healthcare settings. It is crucial for these indicators to be used on a weekly basis, as recommended by the CDC, to ensure that medical equipment is being properly sterilized and patient safety is being maintained. Using the indicators on a daily basis may be too frequent and unnecessary, while using them on a monthly or yearly basis may not provide enough data to accurately assess the sterilization processes.
